A Consistent EnvironmentLinux Runs on Virtually Everything

The Analysts Opinion – two of many…

� Interview conclusions (50 IT execs of large US Global 3,500 companies):

� Linux is ready for more data centre workloads� Both Windows & Unix installations are at risk� Enterprise support is firm's biggest concern

� What other open source software should I consider ?� only those that have the same level of commercial support

Linux has (Apache, Tomcat, etc)

March 2003. "The Linux Tipping Point" Forrester Research, Inc

Linux has ascended from earlier phases of maturity and proof of concept through tactical deployments for immediate returns to the current phase of “Deployment for IT Advantage.”

Through 2006, accelerators will be more important a driving force than inhibitors toward Linux’s increasing acceptance (0.8 probability).

�Replace outdated OSs with little additional capital.�Selectively enables use of less expensive Intel hardware. �Consolidate multiple server images on single H/W box without rearchitecture.�Operating system is inexpensive.

Linux Value Summary for IBM

�Opportunity to quickly replace outdated servers OS's.�Opportunity to deliver feedback for product improvement to open source community and IBM product development.�Scalable OS that begins lower on the H/W scale than AIX.

Financial Value Technical Value

Staffing Value

�Embracing "hot" technology attracts best technical talent.�College I/T students deeply involved with Linux.�Additional technical skill path alternative to Windows to retain top talent.

“…we're seeing a very dramatic shift from an ecosystem wherevendors called the shots, to a new ecosystem that's based on what businesses want to accomplish and what technology can do to reach those objectives.

No longer are companies locked into a particular architecture, program or vendor. The rise of standards is helping to fuel a new period of innovation. "

Should your organisation implement Open Source?

� What is your business direction

� What skills do you have

� What platforms do your applications require?

� Beware of benchmarks and TCO studies

� Do an application/infrastructure assessmentLicence & maintenance costs

Hardware

Migration costs

Support

People skills (deployment, support & training)

In Conclusion

� Open Source is here to stay

� Open Source and Proprietary software can and must co-exist

� Open Source software is just another tool in the box

� It’s about business, not religionConsider Open Source and Proprietary solutions equally

� Choose platform neutral Open Standards
